Posh

According to oxford dictionary,

early 20th century: perhaps from slang posh, denoting a dandy. There is no evidence to support the folk etymology that posh is formed from the initials of port out starboard home (referring to the more comfortable accommodation, out of the heat of the sun, on ships between England and India)

Reference

Oxford dictionaries, (2011)'posh', available at : http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/posh
 
According to Collins dictionary,
 
C19: often said to be an acronym of the phrase port out, starboard home, the most desirable location for a cabin in British ships sailing to and from the East, being the north-facing or shaded side; but more likely to be a development of obsolete slang posh a dandy

    Welsh Assembly





                                                                              
                                                    

    • Wales is a part of United Kingdom.
    • The Assembly has three key roles: representing Wales and its people; making laws for Wales; and holding the Welsh Government to account.

    • The Assembly makes laws for Wales on specific subject areas. Outside these areas, different bodies (like local authorities or the UK government) make laws that apply to Wales.
    • Elections for the 60 seats in the National Assembly for Wales take place every four years. This section explains how Assembly Members are elected and contains details of past elections.
    • The Assembly is made up of 60 elected Assembly Members. Forty are chosen to represent individual constituencies, and 20 are chosen to represent the five regions of Wales (North Wales, Mid and West Wales, South Wales West, South Wales Central, and South Wales East). Assembly Members represent their area as a member of a political party or as an independent.
    • Assembly Members undertake their tasks of representing Wales and its people, making laws for Wales and holding the Welsh Government to account in a number of ways. These include attending Plenary debates and sitting on Assembly Committees to discuss specific issues. Find out more about how Assembly business is carried out in this section.

    Ref-http://www.bized.co.uk

    "The European Union (EU) is the organisation which integrates the countries listed below, both politically and economically. It is a customs union, which is an agreement amongst a group of countries to eliminate trade barriers between them on the movement of goods, services, labour and capital, and also to establish a common external tariff on goods and services coming into the union. The EU evolved from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which was formed in 1951 as a response to the First and Second World Wars to try to ensure future peace in Europe. This became the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1965, which in turn became the European Union in 1992 following the signing of the Maastricht Treaty".

       Advantages and disadvantages of being a member of the European union

    Ref-http://www.bized.co.uk/learn/economics/international/eu/notes/euindex.htm

    Advantages

  • "Competition would be stimulated, benefiting the consumer as prices throughout Europe would be more 'transparent' - differences could not be masked by changes in the exchange rate.






  • Stability would increase as vulnerability to short term shocks would be reduced, (such as house price and interest rate rises), as would changes in the exchange rate which affect the level of exports






  • Reduction of opportunity cost, which may occur as a result of loss of investment and trade from eurozone countries. Small and medium sized businesses would be able to trade freely in the Single Market, perhaps for the first time.






  • Disadvantages
    • In the present climate, it would be an unpopular decision, with the majority of Britons not being in favour of joining. This may lead to a lack of confidence in the economy. Many worry about the UK losing control over its own economy
    • The UK would not be able to set its own interest rate. Instead, it would be set by the Central Bank for all eurozone countries. This reduces the government's ability to react to shocks in the market. Any change in the interest rate will benefit the eurozone countries as a whole, which may mean it benefits some countries more than others.
    • Mortgages in the UK are different to those in the rest of Europe. In the UK, there is a high proportion of owner-occupiers with variable rate mortgages. In the rest of Europe, however, there is a higher tendency for long term renting, and those that do have mortgages are on long term fixed rates. Therefore, homeowners in the UK are more likely to be affected by interest rate changes than their counterparts in other EU states".
